The school may be shelling out millions to these boys. I don’t see those fired reaping millions from wrongful termination claims. They likely violated a variety of clauses in their contracts. The school is very late to doing the right thing, but it had to do it. This isn’t like Duke lacrosse, where Duke destroyed people based only on the vehemently disputed word of a crazy woman - whom they chose to credit just because she was a minority.
The only hysteria I see here - in contrast to Duke - is from an immature student population. They are throwing a tantrum because their party culture is at risk. They don’t care about kids being homosexually raped, apparently. They’ve been raised in a culture that legalizes and makes excuses for horrific behavior.
Now, if the white males of PSU had been fired for covering up the rape of minority women in its locker room by a white male coach or player, I doubt these students would feel it was socially acceptable to riot over the firings.

This is exactly like Duke where they are making knee jerk decisions. Joe did the right thing at the time with what was given to him. A grad student went to him about a possible situation and he went to the Athletic Director who went to the school who investigated and found NOTHING to it. How do we know that this is all a lie and the parents are trying to get money from the school.
